What Should I Do if the PXIe-5820 Doesn't Appear in
MAX?

1.

In the MAX configuration tree, expand 

Devices and Interfaces

.

2.

Expand the 

Chassis

 tree to see the list of installed hardware, and press <F5> to refresh

the list.

3.

If the module is still not listed, power off the system, ensure that all hardware is correctly
installed, and restart the system.

4.

Navigate to the Device Manager.

Operating System

Description

 

 

Windows 10

Select 

Start

»

Control Panel

»

Device Manager

.

Windows 8.1

Right-click the Start button, and select 

Device Manager

.

Windows 7

Select 

Start

»

Control Panel

»

Device Manager

.

5.

If you are using a PXI controller, verify that a 

National Instruments

 entry appears in the

system device list. If error conditions appear in the list, right-click the 

PXIe-5820

 and 

NI-

RIO FPGA Device

 nodes and select 

Update Driver

. If you are using an MXI controller,

right-click 

PCI-to-PCI Bridge

, and select 

Properties

 from the shortcut menu to verify

that the bridge is enabled.

6.

Restart your computer.

Why Is the ACCESS LED Off When the Chassis Is
On?

The LEDs may not light until the device has been configured in MAX. Before proceeding,
verify that the PXIe-5820 appears in MAX.

If the module appears in MAX but the ACCESS LED fails to light after you power on the
chassis, a problem may exist with the chassis power rails, the hardware module, or the LED.

Caution

 

Apply external signals only while the PXIe-5820 is powered on.

Applying external signals while the device is powered off may cause damage.

1.

Disconnect any signals from the PXI Express module front panel.

2.

Power off the PXI Express chassis.

3.

Remove the module from the PXI Express chassis and inspect it for damage. Do not
reinstall a damaged device.

4.

Install the module in a different PXI Express chassis slot from which you removed it.

5.

Power on the PXI Express chassis.
